At the outset, it is no exaggeration to say that I was terrified on long and short stitch and even more scared of random long and short stitch. It seems ridiculous to talk about being afraid of a technique but that is exactly how I felt.

The best way to tackle your fears is to face them head on and over the past year I have done 3 online courses that covered long and short stitch as well as stitching Camellias. I don’t feel that I mastered this technique but I have overcome my fear of it.
